Eight members of Lomax Assembly of God ran in the 10th annual Mercedes Marathon and Half Marathon on Feb. 13 in Birmingham.

The group ran to benefit Speed The Light, a student-initiated volunteer charitable organization that provides equipment to missionaries across the nation and in more than 180 countries across the world.

Since its beginning, STL has raised more than $220 million. More than $3,000 was raised through participation in Mercedes.

Those pictured in black shirts ran the full marathon (26.2 miles), and those in blue ran the half marathon. The runners were: Derrick Price, Amanda Price, Erric Price, Erron Price, Freed Yarenko, Doug Mims, Tony Burnett and Ebony Sandford.
